The US said on Sunday that it has evidence that the Pakistani Taliban was behind last week's failed attempt to detonate a car bomb at Times Square in New York and that Faisal Shahzad was "working at their direction". "We've now developed evidence that shows that the Pakistani Taliban was behind the attack," US Attorney General Eric Holder told ABC television's Sunday current affairs talkshow This Week.
"We know that they (Pakistani Taliban) helped facilitate it. We know that they probably helped finance it, and that he (Shahzad) was working at their direction,"
US officials have been maintaining that Pakistani Taliban could be behind the failed attempt. A video purpodetly released by the Pakistani Taliban had claimed responsibility for the attacks, but the outfit rejected it immediately.
